Snow...I mean...water....I mean...mud

We had an awesome weekend of snow! Meant less got done outside but it was nice to get some moisture. Now our lovely snow has turned into water.....the last 2 days have been so warm that the snow has been melting and pouring off of the roof...my poor rosebushes never saw it coming!!! They are strong.....they will survive! Thankfully there is still a good 5ish inches covering the ground and the dreaded mud lying underneath(I know you are there mud-you can't play tricks on me!). I despise mud. Mud has never done anybody any good!!! While in college in the northwest I spent many a day trudging through the knee deep mud feeding 50+ horses, hauling flakes of hay to the trees. Oh the memories....I already went looking for muck boots when I was in town this week....unhappily discovered a large leaky hole in my beloved 15 yr old pair of faithful muckers!!!( muckers I stole from my dad that he has had since the 80's when he worked in alaska). I guess they deserve retirement... maybe they have earned the right to sit on a shelf with other memoirs...not sure Buckaroo Man will go for that.  I never did find any muck boots in my size...I think everyone got the bright idea to prepare for the upcoming slush and mud. I better find something...or I will be doing a lot of sock washing!!!

We almost have our wood floor put in. 3/4 of 1 room left. Will be sooooo happy to not live in a construction zone!! I will probably be as happy as when we finally got internet today! Yep finally got internet no more borrowing anybody else's!!! The floors look awesome.....for now. Until the mud comes. ( looked up and noticed a trail of muddy paw prints-its already reminding me that it is here) The horses look lovely as they have already found and created much mud around the bale feeder. Good thing they are all brown and hide the mud well!! My chickens on the other hand are having way too much fun. The coop is muddy and the chickens feel that they have all died and gone to heaven. They are so happy that they are laying more eggs than I know what to do with!!!! I had the brilliant idea of getting enough chickens to be able to sell eggs. Good eggs.....free-range chicken eggs....happy chickens.....fed only USDA Certified Organic feed......tasty eggs!!!

Aren't they lovely? (thats only 4 days worth of eggs!)I have just been a little slow in the advertising of them. I mean-come on-I am not busy or anything..I should of had flyers up months ago, but nope, instead I am having to come up with recipes that involve using eggs for every meal!!! Speaking of eggs.....I see 70+ eggs waiting to be cleaned and candled....I suppose I should head over there and start cleaning. Until next time! Too-da-loo!
